Heroku Tooling for VS Code

An attempt to provide proper Heroku tooling for VS Code.

What is this and why?

TLDR: adds VSC commands to make working with containerised apps a breeze. It also takes care of Heroku CLI installation/login to remove friction.

This extension does not attempt to replace the Heroku CLI for interacting with Heroku. It is a top-notch CLI and for most things it makes sense to use it.

What this extension does attempt is to wrap the most relevant commands from the CLI in my development workflow to VS Code commands in order to embrace the idiomatic way of working in VS Code.

Features

Before being able to run any of the relevant commands, the Heroku CLI must be installed and an session authorised. You can do this via the command Heroku: Setup.

Note: If you run Windows, please make sure to install the CLI separately, the Setup command won't work. You can find the installer here.

Commands

• Heroku: Setup, Download and installs the Heroku CLI, and prompts to log in.
• Heroku: Configure Application allows you to set a default application name per workspace.
• Heroku: Push Container, pushes the web container.
• Heroku: Release Container, releases the web container.
• Heroku: Deploy Container, shorthand to both push AND release the web container.
• Heroku: Open, opens the app.
• Heroku: Logs, tails the logs in a new terminal.

Known Issues

Probably many. Log an issue in the repository, let's fix it together :)

TODO

• Support Procfile projects
• Allow user to configure Dockerfile to deploy if its not in the root directory
• Add support for worker dynos too.
